Oh this book was heart wrenching. The broken girl putting the pieces back together was so devastatingly beautiful.

 If you need an emotional, contemporary read with romance, this one is for you. Reed and Emma are so much fun, but I loved learning about Emma’s past and her grandmother and seeing her develop a new life plan even more. Emma had a tough life; at times, it was a hard book to listen to. It went down some pretty shocking twists and turns. Still, it has a satisfying ending, and it’s standalone, which is starting to become hard to find nowadays. Most standalones nowadays are part of a series, so they’re connected to another book somehow.
